Metamorphosis

Despite the small budget, this movie had everything it needed to be a great indie horror movie but for some reason it failed. The actors were decent, it was set in a great location, and a man changing into a monster is always a good idea for a horror story. We just didn't go anywhere and it's not clear why we don't. The husband starts to change as the couple starts their "let's rekindle the love" vacation but the wife seems oblivious to these changes until it's too late. And by too late ... I mean the movie is almost over and we really have no idea how we got to the end. I really wanted to like this movie but walked away bored and kinda angry (I can't get the minutes I wasted hoping in vain that the movie would get better). If you finish a movie and the only thing anyone can say is, "That's it? Are you serious?" then you can safely say the director missed the mark.

I am not even remotely in the love category. I did not like either main character. Can't even imagine them getting together. He is working himself to death and she is a lousy "artist" who apparently has never work like normal people, which is strange since they met in college. I'm sure some people would consider what she does as "art". I felt sorry for him, something happens while he is posting a sign, that tells me he has some degenerative medical condition. Worse partner possible if that's the case. There are a couple of bad guys, I'm sure something will happen in the future, but boredom has hit me hard and there is no way I will make it to the good part assuming there is one.

This couldn't be worse than if they were trying to make it bad. Some scenes I couldn't even see what was happening it was so dark. Nothing explained just random boringness. One reviewer said it was edge of you seat thrilling. The only way I'd be on the edge of my seat is if I'd fallen asleep and fell off the edge of my chair. This was free on amazon so I shouldn't gripe too much. I don't know why you keep saying how many characters I have to put here. I never had to write a minimum before and I've seen reviews much shorter than mine. There are no spoilers cause I saw no plot or anything to spoil. I hate to give bad reviews but this was so bad I had to.

I have no idea why this has so many positive reviews.

I absolutely love a slow burn. This was not that. This was just slow.

The writing wasn't the worst thing in the world but there were some cliché lines that I finished in my head before the actors could say them aloud.

I struggled to stay awake for this film. I *paid* to watch this film, but I finally fell asleep and didn't bother to finish it. I've seen enough horror movies (and gave this one plenty of time!) to recognize when one isn't going to go anywhere, where the characters aren't going to surprise you or make you feel anything much at all and when a movie is going to leave you with nothing.

Even if there was a big twist at the end (I made it a little over 49 minutes in), I don't care because I never cared about the characters. Their issues were never properly addressed. At one point the wife asks her husband if he's seeing a therapist, in a seriously accusing tone, as if getting help for his issues would be a bad thing. He gets mad that she went through his things.

Nothing substantial happens and the characters are bland and boring. I wouldn't recommend this.

Great film, very entertaining and I enjoyed it from start to finish. Amazing storyline I think the writer had a fantastic vision and it all came alive IN front of my eyes! Its hard finding a film that keeps your attention, and I did not check my phone once! I was fully into the movie.
